Five Weeks, 23 Travel Partners - The US Travel Association's Daily Getaways Are Back and They Are Great!
Expiration Date – May 6, 2016
The US Travel Association (a trade group that promotes travel to and within the United States) has a fantastic Daily Getaways program each year. Every weekday for five weeks, from April 4 through May 6, 2016, you’ll have the opportunity to purchase a limited number of hotel rewards points, hotel stays, car rentals and entrance to tourist attractions at fantastic discounts.
We are a BIG fan of the daily specials to purchase hotel points. They tend to go very quickly (some in a matter of minutes). So, if you are interested, plan to be at your computer ready to buy right at 1:00 p.m. ET on the day of the sale.
And also elect to receive daily email reminders so you won’t forget! The beauty of these offers is that you can buy during the daily sale, but have the flexibility to use your purchase well into the future (expiration terms vary by program).
The hotel offers should save you a significant amount of money on hotel stays as long as you are smart about how you redeem the points you buy.
During this sale you are typically buying hotel points for about half what you’d normally pay if you bought them directly through the hotel rewards program websites!
And the Daily Getaway prices are usually equal to or below the price at which trvlvip suggests you should feel good about buying points! See our great Tip to determine how we value rewards points and miles.
